Personality:
Initially, all Peggy Carter wanted was to live a quiet life; all that abruptly changed when her brother suddenly died while fighting in World War II. She found herself accepting the position of field agent for an espionage agency before joining up with another agency, MI5. Eventually, she received an assignment to work with the American agency known as the Strategic Scientific Reserve. This assignment is important because it's during her work with the SSR that Peggy really came into her own and grew as an individual.
I don't need a congressional honor. I don't need Agent Thompson's approval or the President's. I know my value. Anyone else's opinion doesn't really matter.
The most important thing about Peggy is that she is very much her own person who does not care very much about what people think about her. And what people think about her is that she is a woman prone to flights of fancy and can't be counted on when the going gets tough. Her coworkers from the SSR gradually change their opinion of her and begin to respect her more, but the fact is that at the time period in which she's from, women really don't garner a lot of respect. Nevertheless, she has no problems shaking off the condescension from her male coworkers and refusing to hesitate when important leads cross her path. She is incredibly loyal in a pinch, a fact that is demonstrated most clearly in the way she jumps in feet first to help out Howard Stark, who was, at one point, being labeled as a traitor and guilty of treason.
It's Peggy's tenacious nature and refusal to give up on a friend that leads her to try and clear Howard's name, without a second thought about what might happen to her and her own reputation. The saying about leaving no stone unturned definitely applies to Peggy, who follows the clues and the evidence wherever they go, regardless of the risk and regardless of the high cost to her personally or to those that she knows. One unfortunate casualty of Peggy's attempts to help out Howard was her friend Colleen O'Brien, who was murdered when the room she shared with Peggy was searched. Peggy grieved Colleen's death heavily, which points to the fact that despite her occasional austere demeanor and stern expression, she is someone who values her friends very much and views all life as incredibly valuable. Also, I believe that friendship means even more to Peggy because of her association with Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America.
Going back to what I mentioned about the lack of respect that Peggy receives from those in her life, Steve Rogers was the exception to all that. He treated her as an equal, in spite of her being a woman, and the respect he gave her meant the world to her. Over time, she fell in love with him, so when he was sadly lost after a deadly crash into a frozen ocean, Peggy was absolutely devastated. But as a result of that love for him and because she lost him, she began to cling on even more tightly to the relationships she still had. But by that same token, Peggy is not a woman who clings to memories from the past. As far as she knows, Steve died the day that he flew the plane into the ocean, and life has to go on. A life that is lived in the past isn't a life lived at all. That being said, although she's said her goodbyes to Steve and done her best to move on, she hasn't exactly made room for love in her life, at least not a romantic kind of love. She might as well be married to her career at this point in her life, because there's a significant part of her that's apprehensive about falling in love again. So, while she may appear to have moved on outwardly, inwardly her thoughts on that score are a little bit more complicated.
Steve is gone. We have to move on, all of us. As impossible as that may sound, we have to let him go.
Above all, Peggy Carter is the most determined woman you'll ever meet, but she's also one of the most loyal. Her own experiences with her coworkers from the SSR and also with Steve Rogers has taught her that it's important to treat people how you want to be treated, regardless of their experiences, looks, and gender. She tries to see the best in people, even though she's well aware that everyone has their own demons and skeletons in the closet. Still, even with that, she's well aware that evil exists in the world, and that a person who may appear squeaky clean and incredibly polite and kind on the outside may not be that way on the inside. Life may be harsh and cruel, but Peggy is the sort of person who believes that even if life deals out the worst hand imaginable, it's possible to rise above the difficult circumstances and make the best of them.
Abilities/Powers/Weaknesses & Warping: Peggy has no extraordinary powers besides having excellent deductive reasoning skills and the ability to fire a gun, not to mention her formidable right hook. She's an ordinary human, which means she's prone to human weaknesses, including injury and sickness.
